Front Brakes

[wmh9680]

Good Morning, I've tried using the search function on the forum and it comes up with alot of topics not related to my search, but anyway, I have a little over 8000 miles on my spyder and I can see the rear pads but how do you see the fronts since most of the braking comes from the front. How long do pads usualy last? Thanks, Mike

Hope everyone is out ridin today.

They will go over 3 rear pads to 1 front but it all depends on your braking Style

Replaced my front ones at 23,000 they could have lasted a little longer (just a reference point)

Apparently as stated the braking wear is on the rear.

The bike controls the proportioning of the brakes.

I changed all three sets at 21,000 miles. The fronts were toast (I changed them just in time). The rear pads still had some life in them.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but the majority of my riding is in city traffic.

Thanks everyone, you know how it is when you are driving something new. You don't know what to expect and wonder if something has changed or wrong. I checked all 3 pads and I've got a ways to go. I don't know why they didn't put a sensor on the pads to squeal when they are close to gone. Thanks again, Mike

I'm curious as to where you got that information??
